At last I managed a few small videos of the spawning. Unfortunately, there are very short spawning sequences, they can also be much longer.
It is interesting that the male in the videos is another which we see on the images.
The female changes sometimes very quickly his partner.

After intensive spawning the poor females look very taken.
You can see that the females leads the male on both sides.
Fortunately, after three days of the injury is nothing more to see.
